| The Side You Don't See <>*<> His skin is like tanned leather from working in the sun all day. There's lines on his rugged face no cold cream could take away. <><> His hands are like tempered steel, hardened by years of labor. He is alittle tempermental, but still a real good neighbor. <><> He walks a little to the left, It's kind of a funny sight. His legs are bowed at the knees. Yep, he's a Cowboy, alright. <><> We see him standing proud and true, as tough as a man can be. But there's a side to this Cowboy that we will never see <><> Like when he holds his wife at night, Or his Baby in the morn.... Or how he hid his face to cry when that child was born. <><> We didn't see him break when his Mamma passed away, Or we didn't hear him scream when he had nothin' left to say. <><> He went through these things, no doubt like any man will do. He may be a little different but, in a sense, he's just like you. <><> So, no matter when you see him, or where ever it might be. When you look at him remember, There's a side you just can't see.
